Monthly Horoscope Cancer January 2018

January – Being Satisfied With Less

The sun will be in Capricorn at the beginning of the year and in opposition to Cancer. Unfortunately, this is a less favorable position for making important decisions. It’s better to wait until it moves out of its opposition aspect on January 20th. It might seem like some people are working against you while the opposition holds. After January 20th, Cancers will find themselves wondering whether it’s time to make a change in some areas of their lives.

Mercury will be moving in the same direction as the sun to start the new calendar year, and will initially be in an opposition aspect. Because of this, you might find other peoples’ opinions seem to be against you. You might often feel more nervous and distracted. Misunderstandings might be more frequent as well. However, it will be moving out of this opposition aspect by January 11th. After that, the planet will be encouraging Cancers to think about whether it’s time for a new direction in their professional lives and, if so, how they should make that happen.

Cancers: Watch Out for Shopping Sprees

Venus will be in Capricorn, an opposition aspect, through January 17th.Affairs of the heart might be less than satisfactory during this time than you’d like, and you won’t feel much like working. You might experience some irritation, and you might tend towards wasteful spending to try and make up for it. Just watch out where you spend your money during this time, Cancers. Venus will leave its opposition aspect on January 18th. If you need to make some improvements in your love life or partnerships, Venus will let you know it during this time. It’s best to discuss such changes clearly. Most of the changes you’ll need to make will be small ones.

Mars Delivers a Boost of Energy

But you can rely on Mars. It will be in Scorpio, forming a positive trine and spoiling Cancers with lots of energy and power. You’ll feel full of zest for life and have the energy to start new things. This trend will continue through January 26th, after which Mars will move into Sagittarius to form a quincunx aspect.

Mars Sends Cancers Energy

From this point, it’s a good idea for Cancers to also consider whether they’re using their energies in the right way or whether they might actually be wasting energy in some places.

Good News Jupiter will be favorable throughout the year.

Jupiter will be in a very good position through November 8th. It will form a trine during this period, which will help you feel great most of the time. You might even feel so great you want to sit around and do nothing. That’s the downside. Since you’ll have lots of creative potential during this time, you should definitely act on your ideas and strike out on new paths. Your relationships with other people will also generally be very good, and you’ll feel tolerant and generous. This is a good time to make plans and to consider continued education and training. Last but not least, you might even see some unexpected income!

Saturn will be in opposition to Cancer throughout the year, which means you can expect delays and obstacles in every area of your life. Things might move at a snail’s pace at work, for instance. You might start to feel impatient, or like you’re making (almost) no progress at all. The great opportunities Jupiter offers might be wiped out by Saturn – at least in part – but only if you give up. OK? Just something for Cancers to remember. If you keep that in mind, Saturn won’t be able to wear you down. You’ll stay determined, stick to your goals, and achieve great things.
